He says he might even read <i>Shadows on the Moon</i>, "if I'm nice to him".

I'm so sorry that you feel depressed about getting the Kindle version of shadows. Have you tried reading a few pages just to see if you can get into it? It's the same story, after all - it's the same words, and you're still holding the words in your hands. It's just that the words are made of pixels instead of tiny dots of ink.

Because the delivery here is a bit expensive, I can't just order one by one. Altough, a group of books I ordered a month ago are going to come next week and those books include The Swan Kingdom and Daughter of the Flames!!

I'll cross my fingers that your copy gets there without any trouble.<br /><br />It was one of those crystalline moments of supreme insight, Cass, when you suddenly see that you've been looking at things all wrong all your life. In the original version of Cinderella the stepmother was made to dance in iron shoes until she dropped dead, and the step-sisters were blinded. I firmly believe now that Cinderella's purpose the WHOLE TIME was to achieve that, and that the Prince was a side product. How could we all have missed it?Zoë Marriotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275368005359548134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-87007771543695407522011-07-07T20:50:59.198-07:002011-07-07T20:50:59.198-07:00I get the chills every time I watch that trailer. ...I get the chills every time I watch that trailer.
